Faux Feminism

Image
Feminism is the belief and aim that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men. Feminism at its commencement by popular definition was to acquire the right to vote for women. But although suffrage could be rightly termed as the focal point which ignited feminism, the word has evolved to embrace multifarious beliefs deemed favourable for the overall elevation of women. Feminism is about gender equality, and not gender sameness. Men and women need to have equal rights and privileges. Having said that, men and women are different, and have contradistinctive qualities and attributes, and that’s something which we should revere and hold in respect. If we reminisce about the wave of feminist movements in the past, the purpose was to get equal status as men which include the right to vote vis-à-vis the role of women in society. It also gave emphasis on the issues of gender and race inequality, and the campaign for women’s rights and interests. Mary Wollston...

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are unfit to be president

Image
Donald Trump, the man who said “Grab them by the P***y” is not fit to be president of the United States. Republicans must be left reeling themselves for electing Trump to be their nominee. Republicans ought to be very much embarrassed of themselves. Hillary Clinton is equally unfit to be president of the Unites States for different reasons. She is a woman who defended her husband—a sexual predator at the same time calls herself a woman fighting for women’s rights. She is also responsible for bad judgement on many disastrous foreign policies—Libya and Iraq. If Donald Trump is a sexist, Hillary Clinton is a modern-day Lady Macbeth. She also had a hand for so many bloodsheds. It’s laughable that the mainstream media are not exposing the dark side of Hillary Clinton. They are only interested in exposing Donald Trump. It appears like there is a campaign against Donald Trump to put him down. There are people out there simply going with the flow of the mainstream media wi...

Omran Daqneesh yet reminds us again of the horrors of war and why the war has to stop NOW

Image
The image of five-year-old Omran Daqneesh has encapsulated the wretchedness and horror of the Syrian war Omran, a Syrian boy covered in dust and blood, sits in an ambulance after being rescued(Via Getty Images) Omran Daqneesh, a Syrian child covered in dust and blood speaks volume of the sad and tragic world in which we live in. You probably might have seen Omran’s image or video which has been circulating on social media. His stunned face is a stark symbol of his country and the devastation and suffering which they have to endure. The poor boy was so shocked that he couldn’t even shed his tears. He was not crying at any point during the rescue. Let’s not forget, he is a five year old boy. He is supposed to be out in the sunshine and playing with his friends. However the greediness and lust for power have overshadowed everything and what remains is the dark horrific world.  It was a soul-wrenching moment when he raises his left hand and wipes the blood off his face c...
